FLESH sLoUGHING uFF IN PIECES.

For two years have beeI confined to bed
with loathsome form OF Blood Poison, which
had about eaten me up, and 1 and others had
no hope of a recovery. For awhile 1 could
neither walk, sit down, nor lie down, only in
misery as my flesh seemed to be falling off my
bones in pieces as big hen egg. My appe-
tite was lost, my bones ached and panied me,
and friends even stunned me. 1 used various
blood purifiers without benefit. and several
physicians treated me until large sums of mon
ey had been expended, but not one particle of
good did any one give me.
On the 10th of February, 1886, Mr.. F. r
Jackson called to if was not dead, as it was
thought that l could not endure m suffering
much longer. Heconcluded to try B. B. B. on
me and got a bottle from Mr.. Brockington, at
Beaufort and before bottle had been used
commenced gaining strength, my appetite i'm
proved, sores commenced healing and when
two bottles had been used was on my feet anG

OF the miners life and of prices in
those early days NJ. de Narigny gives an
animated account:
Life wa rude and expenses we're enor-
mous Grouped in camps IN order that
they might the better resist Indian forays,
the miners lived In tents, generally two
on three under the same canvas, partners
dividing the labor, each in his turn under
taking the preparation OF the meals. a
stove, n kettle, a gridiron and a coffee pot
were the kitchen utensils; dry leaves or
straw served Tor the bed, and the only
luxuries were carbines and reviewers,
carefully taken care of and always ready
for use. In the center OF the camp was u
huge tent, that OF the storekeeper. His
stock in trade was composed OF sacks OF
Hour, barrels of salt pork, tea, and coffee,
candles and soap; then shovels, picks,
crow bars, pewter plates, powder and shot,
red flannel shirts, jack boots, coarse
clothing, and finally and especially gin
and whisky.
"On the counter were scales for weigh
ing the gold dust. There was no such
thing as coined gold and silver. All trans
actions were on the cash basis. The miner
brought forth from his chamois skin bag
in pinches or in pellets the price of his
purchases in gold dust. Gold circulated
M Sl9 or Sll per ounce. The storekeeper
sold IL for Sl6 IN san Francisco. Some
few miners known for their sobriety and
probity enjoyed in these stores n little
credit, which allowed them to live through
evil days without dying of hunger; but

Literally wiped Out of Existence.

George Doran was blown to pieces by
u nitro glycerine explosion at Red Rock u
few years age. He was u man that
weighed 200 pounds. All that the most
thorough search ever recovered Of that
200 pounds of flesh and bone was a part
of one of the poor man. feet-less thar
one pound. Charles Berridge, II wei,
known oil man, was blown up by nitro.
glycerine one winter in Allegheny county.
The ground was covered with newly
fallen snow. On either side was a high
and abrupt hill only u few rods apart.
Berridge was a very tall man, and his
weight WAS $50 pounds. The remains OF
the poor fellow were searched for care
fully, but less than fifteen pounds OF
them could be found. The most curious
part Of the case, and one showing how
completely humiliation accompanies an
explosion of nitro-glycerine. wes this.
The greatest force of the explosive is al
ways expended upward. However in
iinitesimal the atoms to which Berridge's
body might have been reduced by thi.
explosion, in falling back upon that spot
less snow some trace of them must have
been seen, but the snow remained II.
spotless as before. Besides human bodies,
the iron frames of wagons, and even the
ponderous nitro-glycerine safes, have
been removed from buman vision by an
explosion as effectually is if they had
never been formed, and the mystery OF
their utter humiliation cannot be ex.
plained.-New York Times.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup, within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is, without
doubt, the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
curc of Coughs, Colds and the severest
lung troubles, 1t acts on an entirely DIFF
ferent principle from the usual prescrip-
tons given by physicians, as it does not
dry up a cough and leave the disease still
in the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and a long spell of serious illness. atrial
will convince you Of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price, Is cents, large

bom1o The Difficulties Wiivir are Yet
to he ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
At q meeting Of the Photographic 30
ciety Of Philadelphia the question was
asked: What can be considered as the
'instantaneousness' of gelatinc plates and
the well asccrtained shortest exposure al
tained?'' Mr.. David Pepper. Jr.. stated
that the picture of a ball falling before Il
screen had been taken with one Of Mr..
Muybridge's fastest shutters i'll the
1000 of a second. Mr.. David Cooper.
who was present as u visitor, referred to
n picture made by Mr.. w. T. Gregg OF a
projectile being fired from IA dynamite
gun. The shell vas shown a short dis
lance in front of the muzzle Of the gun,
and was blurred about one-half its
length. The velocity of the projectile
was stated to be 1,200 feet per second.
In front OF the shell could be seen what
was claimed to be a cushion Of COM
pressed air. This cushion had the APP
pearance Of a comet and was supposed to
be the cause of the difficulty or impossi-
bility of hitting with a pistol bullet u sns-
pended eggshell or handkerchief.
Capt. MacNutt of the Frankfort ar
senal stated that he had been trying for
two years to devise a means to accom-
plish this. The difficulty seemed to DO
in securing sufficient rapidity of expos
ure, at the same time having a position
near enough to get a respectable sized
picture. The projectile, moving at from
1.200 to l, 600 feet per second, would re-
quire u faster shutter than lie had yet
seen. The high velocities Of projectiles
at the muzzle has led 10 the suggestion
that they might be gotten at a point, say
500 yards off. where the velocity is CON
siderably reduced. but this has placed
other difficulties III the way, chief among
which is exposing while the projectiles
are in the field Of view. Mr.. Bartlett ex-
pressed his doubts whether the most seri-
sitive film is capable of recording the
presence of the cushion of air preceding
the projectile, inasmuch as the atmos-
phere, even under the greatest pressure,
would he invisible. He thought he
might as well expect the Photographic
image Of the temporary which
follows the all.-Boston Transcript.

when 1ngerson Wa. sick.

Col. Ingersoll told "A story about Il time
when he was sick with fever many years
ago, about the only sickness he ever
knew. Climbing over a porch outside of
his window We're grape vines full Of
grapes just ripening. In his fever lie
craved acids and cooling drinks, and
those grapes made him wild with desire
to reach them, but lie was sternly forbid
den to think of them or of ice water, and
he was closely watched to see that he did
not reach the forbidden fruit. One night
when he pretended to be asleep and was
thought too weak to move, the nmse
slipped out, perhaps to get a drink or a
smoke. lngersoll crawled feebly from
the bed, crawled out of the window upon
the roof of the porch and ate grapes ill
he feared the nurse would return.
Then, said he. II filled my shirt tail
full of grapes and crawled back to bed
and hay and ate them in the dark.
Then, " said he, Il went to sleep. bidding
the world good-by, and willing to do 50
after the exquisite enjoyment of that
feast.
In the morning the doctor came i'll,
and, after examination, pronounced him
much improved, and evidently felt ela;el
in his success in treating the case. In.
gersoll asked him what would be the con
sequence if he ate a lot of those grapes
and he was assured that he would no
live an hour. After the grape episod,
his improvement was so rapid that i
amazed the physician, and when he tolt
